Lind-Ramos was recognized for producing works which explore Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latin American. Funded by a gift from local patrons of the arts and longtime PAMM supporters Jorge and Darlene Pérez, the Pérez Prize will be presented to the artist on March 7 at PAMM’s Art of the Party, the museum’s largest fundraising event of the year. Jorge Pérez added, “Being able to support such talented young artists like Daniel, and inspire others like him, is the very reason this prize was created. His efforts to highlight the often overlooked influence of African diaspora artists across Latin American and Caribbean cultures are incredibly important, and we couldn’t be prouder to be able to further empower him through this year’s Pérez prize.” Last year’s award went to artist Christina Quarles for producing works which grapple with questions of racial and sexual identity, gender, and queerness.
